, for which
and
, find
.
Solution:
The formula for the nth member of an arithmetic progression is
. Substituting with n=8, we get
Problem №2
Let
be an arithmetic progression, for which
and
. Find the sum of the first 10 elements.
Solution:
There is a direct formula for the sum of the first n elements - it is
. For
n=10
, we have
Problem №3
Let
be an arithmetic progression, for which
and
